Werkmeister Describes the Nazi Set-Up (Continued from Page 1.) that if the working classes are provided with entertainment thru out the year they will not only be haDDV but more willing to work Thus, as a part of the government program to aid the laboring class es, every German worker now re ceives vacation on pay, including a minimum of eight days and maximum of three weeks, depend lng upon the individual's length of service and his age. "So that the worker may really enjoy his vacation, the govern ment has built special sea resorts for members of the 'Krafdurch Freude' where they may go at nominal costs, in addition to con structing specially built steam ships which are now used by mem bers for taking extended vacations to all parts of the world and at reduced rates," says Dr. Werk meister.

TEACHING POSITIONS REPORTED BY BUREAU As though-the drouth had not already done sufficient damage, Nebraska now has a new pest, which authorities at the Agricul tural Campus are attempting to control or check. It is the flat headed apple tree borer beetle, which is rapidly taking the foliage off elms, pin oaks, pear and other trees. Many trees in eastern Nebraska, especially in and around Lincoln have been seriously damaged by this insect, and Ag College experts have used various solutions in sprays to determine the best mix ture to recommend to tnose in terested in saving the trees of the state. More than 200 beetles dropped N) DONNA J DAE J h rom The Lincoln Journal. from three of the pin oaks within a short time after one solution was sprayed. This is the first time in the history of the state that trees in Lincoln have ever been so severely attacked by the beetles They are about a half inch in length, so that they completely girdle the stems and gnaw the leaves off. Some trees have had practically all their leaves taken off. They were, of course, already weakened by the drouth. The picture above shows men on the agricultural campus spraying the pin oaks. The particular one above is in front of the Home Economics building. In the lower picture the beetle is shown going to work on a branch of a pear tree.

As another example of the gov ernment's interest In the common people, he told of the German workman who paid 22 cents ior his seat at one of the fine German operas in Berlin while he (Dr. Werkmeister) paid approximately $5.00 for an adjoining seat. While he is enthusiastic over this part of the Nazi program for the working class, the university educator cannot endorse some of the other aspects of the Hitler platform. As far as the Jewish sit uation is concerned, Dr. Werk meister does not believe that the Jewish people are now being phy sically beaten and their show win- TYPEWRITERS FOR RENT Any make, $3.00 mo. Nebraska Typewriter Co. 130 No. 12th 6t. B-2157 dows demolished, but, he says, in the rural areas pressure has been brought to bear on the German people to boycott Jewish stores, Since the Jews have been narreu from all professions and govern ment careers, their case is really hopeless, he says. In his opinion the last decree stipulating that no German Jew mav obtain a Ph. D, degree in any university is mere ly evidence that this part of the Nazi policy which specified that the Jews must be eliminated from the cultural life of Germany is be ing carried out to the letter. Dr. Werkmeister also feels that the situation is such in Germany that the final showdown of the Church versus the State is fast approaching. Conditions, he said, which led to this deplorable state of affairs Is too complex and dir ficult to trace in all cases. While in Germany, Dr. Werk meister gave many lectures before university groups going thr the country and before various civic and professional meetings. He had an opportunity of knowing and studying with the many German philosophers of note and also at tended the second international congress for the unity of science which was held at Copenhagen Denmark.
